4.7

1 source$76as of Oct 12

The Philips Sonicare Power Flosser 3000 offers excellent cleaning performance with three pressure settings and a built-in pacer that encourages even flossing.

How they stack up

Oclean A10 AirPump Water Flosser

The Oclean A10 AirPump Water Flosser has a 45ml tank, far smaller than the 148 ml of the Waterpik Cordless Express or the 250ml of the Philips Sonicare Power Flosser 3000 Cordless. It has three cleaning modes to the Express's two pressure settings, and it recharges by Type-C cable and magnetic dock where the Express uses AA batteries. Its highest settings are very aggressive.

Philips Sonicare Power Flosser 3000 Cordless

The Philips Sonicare Power Flosser 3000 Cordless has an 8.4-ounce tank, larger than the 7-ounce Waterpik Cordless Advanced 2.0 Water Flosser and the 5-ounce Quip Rechargeable Cordless Water Flosser. It offers three pressure settings to the Quip's two and includes a pacer, which the Waterpik Cordless Express lacks. Like the Quip, its nozzle is difficult to rotate, and it costs more than the Quip.
